SportsGuy41017 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Calling for an armed revolution. I got more on him too, as soon as I can find the links. The Cincinnati Monocle: Eric Deters is Going Nuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsGuy41017 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Federal Lawsuit Filed In Fountain Square Shooting - :: Cincinnati news story :: LOCAL 12 WKRC-TV in Cincinnati Didn't take him long to fine a controversial case, and be on the questionable side. This past summer an armed 16 year old got into a scuffle with a police office and pulled a gun on the officer, the officer had to shoot the teen, he ended up dying shortly after. Now Deters has filed a suit against the officer stating that the officer took the gun away from the teen and shot and killed the teen, then laid the teens gun next to him. Question #1: Who seeked who in this case? He had a previous case or two where he seeked out a client, which is a reason he was barred for a while. Question #2: How long until Deters gets banned for life from practicing law? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plantmanky Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Not to defend him, but the family of the young man who was shot, did say when this happened that they would be filing civil suite against CPD and the officer if I remember correctly.

It's not uncommon for the police officer and agency to be sued after an officer shoots someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsGuy41017 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 ^ agreed, but it's who took the case, and how did he get/find it. As he will be watched closer now on how he gets some of these cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plantmanky Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 ^ watched for what exactly? If a client comes to him about an issue, and he wants to take the case, why wouldn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsGuy41017 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 ^ one of the reasons he was suspended is he was accused of going to people telling them he wanted to represent them. Cant do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsGuy41017 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 I'll wait and see what comes out. But with the filing of the suit CPD has to release the full police report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Schue Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 ^ one of the reasons he was suspended is he was accused of going to people telling them he wanted to represent them. Cant do that. How is that any different from the litany of lawyers dying to represent us in any number of potential case situations? Technically, The Heavy Hitter is seeking out clients with his ads.

SportsGuy41017 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Yes, but ads are a lot different than learning about an accident and calling the family before they contact you, it's an ethics violation, one that got him suspended. He called a Mr Clise when his son was in the hospital who was involved in a school bus accident when the kid was in the hospital. Deters was representing Mrs Clise at the time.

SportsGuy41017 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 But what about his rant when he said we all need to arm ourselves and head to the Whitehouse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGZIG Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Deters needs to go away. They should suspend him permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdsfan Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Now Deters has filed a suit against the officer stating that the officer took the gun away from the teen and shot and killed the teen, then laid the teens gun next to him.A friend of mine witnessed the event, and this accusation is blatantly false.
